One thing I’d like to see is the ability to damage components due to improper testing. say using a 5V pulse on a debug port. Great job with the game, definitely has got me more interested in the concept.

Bryan: A hint system is unlikely, for reasons parallel to Knightmare’s comments. I intend to add a spoiler tag to my comment system, though, to facilitate people helping each other through page comments.
Erant: That’s also fairly unlikely, as the challenge of a puzzle is often intrinsic to the puzzle itself. Because the Community Edition should have more than four puzzles, however, there should be a better variety of difficulty between the levels.

I absolutly LOVED Ruckingenur II and will deffo be looking into designing a level or two. The only thing I noticed was that some people can breeze through Ruckingenur II, and some people have a little more trouble. (Those people are not necessarily non-engineers, Ruckingenur II is more of a puzzle game anyway). Would it be possible to have puzzles of varying complexity?

Including any sort of “solve” or “hint” in the game would ruin it in my opinion. It’s too tempting to just click the hints or solve to see how it’s done if it’s there. It took all of 30 minutes for me to muddle my way through all 4 puzzles, very fun, I would love to see more.

I’m thinking a cable box and / or a sat receiver.. hack it for free tv or something 🙂
P.S. Thanks for putting so much time into this game, know it’s worth it!

You also should think of a Hint/help system or a I give up give me the answer system. I don’t think I ever did figure out the last two levels, I am just a hobbiest.

Awesome! Great idea Zach! Ruckingenur is one of the greatest games I have played in a *long* time.

Just a bit of advice I found helpful while doing phase one, use something like ExpressPCB, because it has both PCB software and schematic software, and it can export to an image file. Plus it’s free, and I found it faster than even mspaint.
